Another question for you guys - the Mazda rails that I got installed have fixed mounting points. Are these just for the OEM crossbars? Would the aftermarket crossbars also have to be installed only at those points? From what I can gather from the Thule website I think the answer is yes...

Thanks for the info Bluechip... tough call for me. Realistically I will probably only ever carry skis and bikes so the Mazda ones would probabyl do the trick, but I've been reading some mixed reviews online so might just play it safe and go with the aftermarket ones.

Just got the side rails installed but wanted to do some more research before buying the cross bars. Is there any downside to the OEM crossbars? As far as I can tell, aftermarket crossbars (Thule, Yakima, etc.) are 2X as expensive as the OEM ones. Why is that?

Has anyone driven their (2016+) CX-9 in the snow (with proper tires installed)? I just bought some Blizzaks - excited to test them out once there is some snow on the ground. Hoping it will have a noticeable difference from my previous FWD sedan.

It's just funny to get these kind of people in a forum where you are talking about a (relatively boring) family-mobile. Figured it would be a more mature civilized crowd.

What's with all of the attitude on this forum? I've driven the CX-9 every day for the past 6 months and this "issue" literally only happened once and I was surprised that it was able to happen... and then this whole thread is full of ridiculous responses about how people need to take...

OP here - in terms of the "driver needs to take responsibility" type comments... while I obviously agree with that concept from a very general perspective, I think my issue with this is that the push button start is a newer technology that drivers (like myself) are not used to and therefore, the...

Just to clarify - I was trying to park and I did have my foot on the brake and turned off the car and then released my foot. Since the surface I was on was basically flat the car didn't have a sudden movement when I released my foot from the brake (which is why I didn't notice it was still in...

Not sure if this issue is specific to the Mazda CX-9 or if it is a common thing amongst any vehicle that has a push button start. A few times I have accidentally turned off the car while it is still in gear and not in park. Once the car is off it starts rolling very slowly (slowly enough that...

Weird thing happened to me yesterday - my rear view camera seemed to disable itself. Usually when you put the vehicle in reverse the rear view camera automatically turns on but it stopped doing that (and the display screen would just stay on whatever page it was on initially - audio for...

I have a 2017 CX-9. One thing I find annoying is that you can't use the key fob to unlock doors, open trunk, etc. when the vehicle is turned on. Is this standard for vehicles with the push button start? Many times I have gotten out of the car while it's still running to grab something from the...

Same problem with me - surprised at how small that damn thing is. I do happen to have a pair of Ray Bans that fit though but anything bigger than that doesn't work. Was it the same size on the 2016? Seems weird that they would mess up something as simple as a sunglass holder.

Slightly different issue but I ordered a 2017 CX-9 3.5 weeks ago (got it 2.5 weeks ago) and I ordered the OEM 2 inch hitch accessory... turns out the hitches that Mazda has in stock don't fit the 2017 and the are currently trying to rebuild them so that they fit. Wonder how long its going to...

Has anyone gotten an OEM trailer hitch for their 2017 CX-9? Bought our CX-9 recently and supposedly there was some sort of issue with the OEM hitches not fitting the 2017 CX-9 and they are currently trying to produce new ones to fix the problem. This happen to anyone else? Are there any...

I actually ended up buying some cheap ones: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/glovebox-pvc-seat-cover-0326043p.html#srp They aren't perfect but they are good enough for my purposes. The seat backs on the CX-9 are a little tall for these but they still stay on properly when you are sitting on...

OP here - finally got my CX-9! Really nice vehicle. Tried fitting my bike in a few different ways and what worked best was taking off both wheels and dropping the fork down in between the 2nd and 3rd row seats... kind of like what TravL350 above did but with the bike facing the other way. I...

Just ordered a 2017 CX-9... I do a lot of mountain biking and am often wet and muddy after a ride. Was hoping to get some seat covers to put on the driver and passenger seats that will fit the CX-9's seats well and will also be durable/waterproof enough to protect the seats. Any recommendations...

Thanks for taking those pics Trav! Fits better than I expected. Do you know approx. how much space there is between your rear tire and the roof? Can't quite tell with the lighting but it looks like there is a decent amount of space. Would only need a few more inches for my 29 inch wheels.

Awesome - thanks a lot for the pics Bibs. Much appreciated! I think that extra space could make a big difference.

Yeah I think I am in the same boat as you - I'm only going to carry it inside the car a few times a year so having to lay it down isn't a major issue in the grand scheme of things.
